Our plan
In February 2006, The Rex Foundation commissioned three Bay Area nonprofit organizations that use drama, movement, and spoken word in their work with youth, in order to create a dramatization about human rights called "The World As It Could Be: A Declaration of Human Rights."
What we did
We enjoyed the support of corporate and foundation sponsors, including RSF Innovations in Social Finance, AT&T, Columbia Foundation, and Morgan Stanley. We had the privilege of working with Ellen Sebastian Chang as our Creative Director.
Our results
The dramatization was presented at a convening at the Presidio in San Francisco on December 7th, which also featured David Brancaccio of the PBS program NOW, and at Balboa High School in San Francisco on December 8th, as part of that school’s curriculum on human rights. We engaged the services of recent Rex grantee Studio BAYCAT to record the Balboa High School performance and produce a DVD that can now be distributed for presentations at other schools and forums.
